Amazon ‘Hometown Girls’ is as raucously energetic as we’ve come to expect from The Strypes, picking up where ‘Blue Collar Jane’ left off with salvos of pin-point guitar riffs and lyrics that tell tales of life growing up in their hometown.
Drawing upon their adoration for vintage rhythm and blues, ‘CC Rider’ was first set to record in 1920’s America, whilst ‘Stormy Monday Blues’ originally harks from the jazz scene of the ‘40s. Both have been regular fixtures in The Strypes’ live arsenal – the versions that appear on this EP were recorded at a recent show at King Tuts in Glasgow, and even on record still portray the unbridled passion and energy of the band’s performances.
